Gary Lineker has a history of posting politically charged tweets during his time as a BBC TV presenter, which has been revealed in the wake of the former footballer turned pundit being criticised for commenting on the government's immigration policy.

It also comes as the TV star announced he will “step back” from presenting Match Of The Day until he and the BBC have reached an “agreed and clear position” on his use of social media.

Gary, 62, has said he does not have to follow strict impartiality guidelines because he freelances for the corporation.
